Hotel Diaries. Frozen War

UK, 2001, 11min.

Made over six years in the hotels of six different countries, Hotel Diaries charts the “War on Terror” era of Bush and Blair through a series of video recordings that relate personal experiences to the ongoing conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine. In these works, which play upon chance and coincidence, the hotel room is employed as a “found” film set, where the architecture, furnishing and decoration become the means by which the filmmaker’s small adventures are linked to major world events.
